Chapter Nine: Uncle Steals Nephew's Partner
However, Su Muchi didn't have enough trump cards to deal with the well-connected young masters and ladies of wealthy families.
She concealed her sharpness and said, "Junjun, I plan to find a man to marry first."
To be precise, it means finding a sharp knife.
Huo Junjun also felt that she needed to find a stable relationship, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up.
"Mu Ci, my brother is single. If you want to get married, why not marry my brother and become my sister-in-law!"
Su Muci: "Your brother?"
The "Mr. Huo" who took her to Jiangcheng Square that day was about six or seven years older than Junjun, and his features did indeed resemble Huo Junjun's...
She muttered to herself, "Could it be... him?"
Huo Junjun immediately replied, "Yes! You've seen it before, you remember, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muci was certain.
It really was Mr. Huo.
She knew her motives for getting married were impure and didn't want to implicate her best friend's family, so she hesitated.
Huo Junjun said anxiously, "Oh, don't worry! I'll arrange blind dates for you. Even if you don't end up with my brother, I have many lawyer colleagues. I'll definitely find you a good man!"
A lawyer? A glint flashed in Su Muci's eyes.
A lawyer's expertise in law may well be a powerful tool in dealing with Fu Hengzhi and Zhou Mengying.
After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Thank you, Junjun. Then please arrange a blind date for me."
"OK, leave the blind date to me, Huo Junjun!"
Huo Junjun quickly got up and went to the balcony. After making a phone call, she said excitedly, "Brother, I'll introduce you to someone! My best friend, Su Muci, formerly known as Zhou Muci, do you remember her?"
"I'm arranging a blind date for you two tomorrow! Get ready, I'm looking forward to your wedding!"
When Huo Junyan received the call, he was playing chess with his uncle Huo Zhan, who had just returned home.
Unfortunately, he forgot to turn off speakerphone.
Every word landed precisely in Huo Zhan's ears.
"Little sister, whatever makes you happy..."
Huo Junyan hurriedly hung up the phone and awkwardly smiled at Huo Zhan, "Uncle, we've been looking forward to your return home day and night. Are you planning to stay for a long time this time?"
Huo Zhan grew up in Kyoto with his mother and didn't have much affection for the Huo family in Jiangcheng. This time, he was just making a greeting to get a clear picture of Jiangcheng's business situation.
As a result, before they could even find out the details, their house was burgled.
His tone was stern: "GX Radio is a complete mess. It hasn't even achieved anything, yet it's rushing to go on blind dates and get married?"
GX Radio is the Huo family's only business in Jiangcheng, founded by Huo Zhan's father, Huo Jianguo, and mother, Huo Qingxue.
After the "Huo couple" divorced and separated their assets, the radio station's business declined. Currently, Huo Zhan's elder brother, Huo Dongfeng, serves as the station director, and Huo Junyan serves as the deputy station director. It may go bankrupt at any time.
Huo Junyan was so embarrassed by his uncle's scolding that he wanted to disappear: "It's just a blind date, I don't even know if it will work out..."
"You don't need to go."
"Forehead……"
Huo Junyan looked at his uncle opposite him in surprise. The latter had a serious expression on his face and did not seem to be joking.
Huo Zhan raised an eyebrow and uttered two words that were chillingly cold: "I'll go."
Huo Junyan was shocked, "I...I understand..."
She was puzzled. Her uncle had just arrived in Jiangcheng. When did he start targeting her sister's best friend?
After the game of chess was over, Huo Junyan was ruthlessly kicked out by Huo Zhan.
Huo Zhan took out his phone and texted dating expert Cheng Siyu: "I'm going on a blind date with her tomorrow. Prepare your strategy. If things go wrong, you're out of a job."
Cheng Siyu, who was just about to fall asleep in his hotel suite, received a text message that instantly banished his sleepiness. He then pulled out the complete book of "Abnormal Psychology" that he had brought from Kyoto.
Review and consolidate late at night.
...
The next day, the sky was clear and the weather was perfect for a blind date.
Following the address provided by Huo Junjun, Su Muci headed to her blind date destination—Lantingyuan.
On the way, the image of "Mr. Huo," whom she had mistaken for a pervert that day, kept flashing through her mind.
She was a little surprised that he would agree to a blind date.
Regardless of her best friend's brother's motives for going on this blind date, Su Muci was very clear about it.
She couldn't drag her best friend's family into the abyss of hatred between her and Zhou Fu.
She went on this blind date purely out of consideration for her best friend. Her real target was her best friend's lawyer colleague.
Su Muci made up her mind.
The car stopped at the entrance of Lanting Courtyard. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she was caught off guard and bumped into a familiar face!
Fu Hengzhi leisurely got out of a limited-edition Ferrari just ten meters away.
Su Muci almost subconsciously clenched her knuckles.
For a moment, she suppressed the hatred in her heart.
Almost simultaneously, Fu Hengzhi's gaze also fell upon her.
Today she wore a light blue fitted dress that she had never worn in front of him before, looking serene and elegant, and her makeup was more exquisite than ever.
Fu Hengzhi walked over, a glint of cunning in his eyes, and sneered, "Couldn't pull off a suicide attempt, so you're resorting to relentless harassment? Stalking me?"
Su Muci concealed her emotions and said calmly, "I didn't follow you."
"No? Ha, dressed like this to come here, and you still say you weren't stalking me? Do you think I'm stupid or blind?"
As Fu Hengzhi spoke, images of Su Muci from the past flashed through his mind.
For those three years, she spent her days going back and forth between the vegetable market and her rented room, exuding a cheap aura. Every time he hugged Su Muci, who was bare-faced and wearing a dirty apron, he felt nauseous.
Today, her outfit was clean and elegant, and her quiet and ladylike braids looked a lot like Ying'er, the girl who had made his heart flutter eight years ago. It was hard not to feel a little spark between them.
However, the next second, Su Muci answered his question in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "I just think you're stupid and blind."
"???"
Fu Hengzhi thought he must have misheard, and his brows furrowed sharply: "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Su Muci's eyes concealed a cold indifference.
Because of Fu Hengzhi's meager salary, she used to live frugally, trying to stretch every dollar into ten, and never dressed up.
But now, she is well aware that she has no academic qualifications because she was forced to drop out of school due to her family background, and her body is her only asset.
She wanted to dress up, to dress up smartly and beautifully.
Maintaining her charm was her weapon against Fu Hengzhi and Zhou Mengying.
But she cannot easily reveal her true strength before she has enough leverage.
Su Muci lowered her voice a few decibels: "Mr. Fu, please rest assured, I am now clear about my position. You belong only to Miss Zhou, and I sincerely wish you two a long and happy marriage."
"Oh, is that so?"
Fu Hengzhi narrowed his eyes. If he really knew his location, he wouldn't have followed him here.
She knew she couldn't win against Ying'er by openly taking her, so she switched to a new strategy—playing hard to get!
